I was daft enough to take out a life membership several years back.

I was naive enough to think it constituted value for money.

If there's one thing I refuse to bet on, it's how long I'm going to live !!!

did you really? wow  I had a look at this a couple of years back when I got made redundant.  I was 47 at the time.  It looked better value from 50 onwards, and then they put the price up! lol...

I still think the membership rtepresents tremendous value, if you are able to get over for the majority of games.  But if you're working, in the city, like me, then it really doesn't give me much.  I'm hoping to get over by about 6.30 tomorrow and catch the last 30 overs or so...but I won't see much of the Lancs game next week.  I can fully understand that people would rather watch cricket in the daytime, especially if they use public transport to travel (although my feeling is the service tends to be less busy the later you travel), which is why I'd love to see a working members package as touted up elsewhere.

Probably better off without membership - its free from tea in championship matches!

Not that any cash-strapped student would sneak in at tea after spending a few hours in the Rivermead library...

I did too. I still reckon it was good value. I'm have my gripes about the way the club is run - the committee structure is so archaic, it beggars belief. The redevelopment is years behind schedule and we have little idea of how the members will benefit, if at all.

But for all that I get enormous pleasure when the team and individual players enjoy success. Would just like to see some success in the CC, although I feel the current team might still struggle in Div 1.

I've been a member for c 30 years and say again, that the subscription, whether life or annual is good value, imho.

I know I've mentioned this before - but when did the club change from being very 'lean' in its corporate structure (i.e. First X1 skipper, Secretary and 2nd XI skipper comprised the committee in the glory years) to this clumsy, oversized structure we have today???

????? I know that Saville was his cousin and Alan Lilley had a strangely close relationship.
